Dumpster Diving "Yellow Team, I'm Goin' In"

Ойын-сауық

Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas.

    Lotsa snibbits, couplers, and scrap metal this time around. Near the end at 23:47-23:48 the things you didn't know what they were and thought were magnetic are called spring nuts. They can be used in various applications but I've used them to make legs for rooftop ductwork.

    Mike the percussion caps you saw on that yellow strip are for nail guns, they shoot nails into the concrete ore iron beams , if you use them , you have for something like that always a permit to use it. Mike the clamps you have are often used to attach sprinkler pipes to the iron beams that should not be drilled into . Greetings

    Hey Mike, don't touch that part of CRT's monitors (tube screen). They save a big amount of energy and IF you touch in a wrong place, you can be eletrocuted or cause a small explosion and break The glass of the screen. Sometimes it happens Sometimes it doesn't. MAYBE... Stay safe!

They're really nice looking but big holes so I don't know what they can hold. Unless I put a cloth covering on it or a cloth basket inside. Hey, I just remembered that I also found three new in the wrapper cloth basket at the same location that I kept. Ideas are forming in my head. I'll have to check it out and see if they can work together.
